Maybe this is why Elon Musk can’t tell the difference between The Odyssey and The Iliad.

The US Has No Idea How to Deal With North Korea
Thank goodness that Donald Trump did not — despite speculation that he might — meet the dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, while the American president was visiting the Korean peninsula last month ...

Don’t worry, though, I’m sure the vote in December on the premium tax credits will go differently. (And definitely won’t jam anybody up in the short window they have to sign up for a plan.) bsky.app/profile/sahi...
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

Like I was saying. Rugpulling the expanded premium tax credits suddenly dumps a few million people out of the market and leads to shit like this as insurance cos react, which quickly becomes self perpetuating.
And that’s how you de facto repeal the aca.

Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

Dan knows more about how Congress works than anyone I know, so this is an interesting thread.
Some thoughts on the CR/minibus.
1 The Dems negotiating with Rs were not freelancing. They coordinated with Sen Schumer. A few were ready to give in on day one, others worked to maximize appropriations wins.
Those voting for the 'deal' are the ones furthest away from electoral consequences.
